I have 13 servers acting very strangely all of a sudden. The schedule has
many more servers in it, 42 total. None have been moved or upgraded and they
are not on the same switch. They all just happen to be the last 13 computers
that ADSM goes out to start on it's schedule each night. They range in TSM
level from 3.1.07 to 3.7.2.16. The DSM error log shows no strange entries
but the dsmsched log and the ADSM log looks as if someone had stopped and
started the schedule service 17 times after the computer completed it's
schedule. Here is a copy of what I see in the ADSM log, this happens for
each of the clients:
